Galatasaray vs Liverpool FC Team News
Galatasaray Team News
Despite leading the Süper Lig with a perfect record after seven matches, the Turkish champions haven’t managed to pick up the same rhythm in the Champions League.
Galatasaray lost to Frankfurt in their first fixture. An outsider might assume it could have been a close game, a typical scenario in the competition for the first encounter. Yet Frankfurt defeated the Turks 5-1, with two of the goals coming via own goals from Galatasaray’s centre-back pairing.
The Turkish side looked completely lost, from start to finish. Or almost, since Yünüs Akgün did manage to score the opener in the eighth minute.
Galatasaray predicted lineup vs Liverpool FC (4-2-3-1): Cakir; Jakobs, Bardakci, Singo, Sallai; Gündogan, Torreira; Yilmaz, Akgün, Sané; Icardi.
Liverpool FC Team News
Liverpool tasted the sweet taste of defeat for the first time last week, as they were beaten by Crystal Palace 2-1. Federico Chiesa, who scored in that match, has now been added to the Champions League squad due to injuries to his teammates.
Giovanni Leoni had been expected to step up at the back, where the team are thinner. Yet he’s picked up an injury that will likely keep him sidelined for several months, raising concerns about their depth.
Against Crystal Palace, Hugo Ekitike served his suspension, picked up for an overzealous celebration of a goal against Southampton, which led to a second yellow card.

However, Liverpool fans may see more and more of Alexander Isak in the coming months, as he scored against Southampton in the EFL Cup.
The Reds defeated Atlético de Madrid 3-2 at Anfield in the first round of the Champions League, thanks to a late winner from defender Virgil van Dijk. Though they dominated the first half, the second half was marked by a stellar performance from Marcos Llorente, which showed that Liverpool needed to improve on the wings.
Stefan Bajčetić has been sidelined due to injury.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Galatasaray (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Konaté, Frimpong; MacAllister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo.

Galatasaray vs Liverpool FC Prediction, Odds
- Prediction: Liverpool to win
- Odds: -159 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Galatasaray 1-2 Liverpool
Galatasaray may not have had the start they wished for in the competition, but they’re known to make it difficult for their opponents on this ground. Liverpool have produced mixed results with different clubs, yet have not faced the Turkish champions in nearly two decades.
Despite several injuries, the Reds are expected to win, though not comfortably. The unique atmosphere in Turkish stadiums always makes it difficult for visitors. With Chiesa stepping up, in addition to Hugo Ekitike coming back, Liverpool can expect a victory in Istanbul.
Galatasaray vs Liverpool Betting Tip
- Pick: Hugo Ekitike to score
- Odds: +120 (Tonybet)
The goal against Southampton demonstrated what Ekitike is capable of. He combines power, pace, and technique, which is why he’s deemed one of the most complete profiles in the striker market. His dominance in the box will be key in Istanbul, which will be a test of his mental resilience.
Although Isak may feature later, Ekitike is expected to start and can rely on plenty of help from all sides of the pitch to score for Liverpool. As Galatasaray’s centre-backs aren’t particularly agile, Ekitike will have an advantage in the box.
